Was the ballot to select the replacement leader of the Labour Party secret or not? The Party seems to have started off still in conflict. First media reports hours after the ballot told us the vote would have been close, but secret, and that all voting papers had been destroyed. Then, later, on TV3 News, we are given voting numbers for each candidate.
I have never thought that most political activities were to be trusted, and this appears to be another example of this. If it wasn't for the very recent debacle regarding the Western Bay Grey Power Group I would have suggested that the Country could be better led by a GreyPower Government (T. in C.)
